Yes I have Dreva, welcome aboard, most of them given to me by Truckerash. I’m in a bit of a rush at the moment but will post them up in a day or so if Ash doesn’t beat me to it.
Were you on for them then, and if so, when?

Weirdo :open_mouth: :open_mouth: :unamused: :wink: :wink:

1554

i know kw im not right in the head :open_mouth: but ive always had a soft spot for the f7 the best one ive seen belongs to trevor pye

1555

With all due respect Karl I dont think you would be so keen on the F7 if you had to pull 24 tonnes of fish over the Massiff Central. Still makes me shudder now. Should there be an E on the end of Central?

1556

charlie dont get me wrong im not saying its the best motor for the job but that the motor to me has character .give me an F12 globetrotter any day of the week and id love it even today

1557

Wendy-House-Lover!! :laughing:

1558

Karl. I do agree with you on the character aspect of the F7.It was a very classic looking motor.A little under powered maybe.

1559

Sorry Carl.My spellcheck was switched off.

Me Too! I Learnt to drive in an F7 and if I didn’t have my Atki Borderer, the F7 would be my next choice for a preserved motor.
